The decision to kill rather than tranq the tiger was probably 65% logistical. After it was down, F&G would have to figure out what to do with it. LA Zoo probably wouldn't take it (for a dozen reasons - mostly disease related). Don't know if the Wildlife Way Station is still around or if it has room (when last I heard the F&G had a tenuous relationship with them) and if it was an older animal, tranq and transport has bigger implications getting the doseage correct and cage control. (/useless wildlife management degree) I'm still bummed they did it though.
And remember, if you hurt her, I will beat you to death with a shovel.

overwhelmed during kitten season
Near Christmas, I'm guessing, since I can't think of any cute cat films out recently.
